Spinning WheelUpdated 5 months ago

Spinning wheels are the heart and soul of any spinner's toolkit. These marvelous machines transform raw fiber into beautiful yarn, using the power of twist. They come in all shapes and sizes—some powered by foot pedals (called treadles) and others by hand. Single-drive wheels are perfect for beginners, giving you control without overwhelming options, while double-drive wheels offer fine-tuned precision for seasoned spinners.

Tip: If you’re just starting out, a single-treadle, single-drive wheel can help you master the basics. But if you’re an adventurous spinner, try experimenting with different drive ratios to see how they affect your yarn’s thickness and twist.
